Some #BookHistory: French lawyer & author Marc Lescarbot (d.1641) (‘ML’) had a client involved in an expedition to Acadia, New France. He invited ML, who accepted. 1606 July: They reached Port Royal (now in #NovaScotia )… with ML’s #books in tow: the 1st known library* in what is now #Canada.

Public health physician Ryan Sommers said rapidly worsening symptoms are a “red flag” for the disease.
“It’s these rapid symptoms that come on very quickly within a short period of time,” he said. “So, six, 12, 18 hours — if you’re not getting better at that time, that’s the opportunity to get checked out by a health-care provider.”
I was 9 at the time; excited; it was very cloudy however. Remember running down the snow-covered lake (Fall River, for the intensely curious) at the time of the eclipse. Love the song, anyway! 😜
